Which of the following transport processes moves substances through cells using endocytosis on one side of a cell and exocytosis on the opposite side of the cell?
A)phagocytosis
B)secondary active transport
C)transcytosis
D)osmosis
E)simple diffusion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcytosis is a transport process that involves the uptake of substances through endocytosis on one side of a cell, followed by the transport of the substances across the cell in vesicles, and then the release of the substances through exocytosis on the opposite side of the cell. This process is often used by cells in epithelial tissues that line organs and blood vessels, allowing for the selective transport of molecules between different compartments or tissues. Phagocytosis involves the engulfment of large particles by a cell, secondary active transport involves the use of an electrochemical gradient to transport substances across a membrane, osmosis involves the diffusion of water, and simple diffusion involves the passive movement of molecules down a concentration gradient.
